Woo Hoo, I made an easel card. I made one in stamp class, but never got back to it. I looked it up under the SCS resources and I've finally done one on my own. Deb -djahner- got me started on this after she sent me a shutter card with measurements and I finally made one.
Anyhow, this is a birthday card for one of our dear SCS and punchkateer member who just happens to love, you guessed it, COFFEE.
I used soft suede paired with SU Elegant Soiree to create this card. I dyed the flowers in baja blue to match and then sprinkled them with dazzling diamonds and topped them with antique brads.
I used the finial press ef on the soft suede portion underneath the image and used the scallop trim border punch underneath it. Added the ribbon stitched border punch, cut in halves, for the top and bottom on the lower layer of the card.
Used the coffee mug popped up on a dimensional as well as some gems to rest the top part of the card so it would stay up when the card is opened. Watercolored the images, added a bit of sparkle and a tad of bling.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and I hope you have an absolutely "perkfect" week!

You certainly are the SMART one Debzi. Calculating all those punches; however, you have slandered my good name with your story of me having alcohol in my "morning cup". I drink it straight thank you!!!

This is perkfect for Perkzi! Lovely birthday card whether you had straight or doctored up coffee and whether or not you got your punch tally correct (or whatever that is that Debzi is recalculating). It just is what it is - wonderful!

Perkzi is going to flip for this cute cuppa card!! Excellent work on that perfect easel, Pamzi. You don't give yourself enough credit. I'm pretty sure you can achieve anything you put your mind to--and you definitely put it to *this*. Awesome coloring, BTW!!

I guess all us punchkateers have already guessed who this card is for!!! Bewear of the cameras in those buttons and the listening devices in the pop dots Sue!!!! Pamzi this is so cute. And what is wrong with a little Kahlua or Bailey's Irish Cream in your coffee on a Saturday or Sunday Morning (only Sunday's if you went to Mass Saturday night-you wouldn't want to knock over Father during communion!!!) I am sure that Perkzi is going to love this
